"You Should Smile More" skillfully intertwines multiple images of women’s faces into a singular portrait as a reflection of our diversity and shared humanity.

This striking composition reminds us that regardless of our origins, current circumstances, or future destinations, we all possess a unique and inherent perfection in our most genuine and unfiltered selves.

Yet, amidst this celebration of individuality, the artist subtly challenges a societal expectation that has persisted for far too long. In a moment of introspection, the artist found themselves painting the portrait with a smile—a societal pressure placed disproportionately on women. However, this painting stands as a bold declaration: No one should feel compelled to adhere to traditional, stereotypical norms.

In every brushstroke, "You Should Smile More" urges us to celebrate the rich diversity of women’s experiences, champion freedom of expression, and challenge outdated expectations. It encourages us all to embrace our authentic selves, unburdened by conformity, and to create a world where each individual's uniqueness shines, unapologetically.
